• Google+ Hangout

 

http://jefflebow.net/node/248

 

It's incredibly simple to start, record, and stream a Google+ Hangout. You simply start a hangout, get it set up to your liking, and when ready -- start the recording.  The moment you've started the hangout you get embed code.  This is the same embed code that allows you to play the video once it's been recorded, the kind you are familiar with for embedding YouTube videos on your blogs and web sites.

 

With Hangout, while you are recording, the embed code streams the recording.  So if you embed it in a website you can invite people to that URL and they will be able to see and hear the event as it is happening.  If you then provide some way for them to interact with you in txt chat (we use the etherpad clones) then you have a means of:

• accommodating up to ten in the hangout for live interaction
• accommodating any number of people in the stream with ability to interact with them in synch with the webcast
•  finding out who would like to join the hangout and rotate people out who have become non-talking heads so you can bring conversant heads in 

 

 

• Google Reader

• When you click on an RSS button, Google might offer to add you choice to Google Reader (on the right) http://screencast.com/t/ZDhjNDMx 
• When you add a feed from this class, you can add it to a class folder in your reader:  http://screencast.com/t/YmRkYWI1MDk 
• The result might look something like this http://screencast.com/t/WSJ2LwtuUzL

Podcasting

 

• Odiogo

 

http://Odiogo.com is pretty nifty.  You install it on your blog and it reads your blog to whomever clicks on the audio player. It turns your blog into a podcast. It's free, and all Odiogo needs is your blog URL, an email address, and your assurance that you are the owner of that blog; see: http://screencast.com/t/NmJkNTQ4ND

Odiogo will create mp3 files of all your blog postings and create a page for you on its servers which gives the feeds for your blog.  For example, for http://justcurious.posterous.com/, the Odiogo URLs are:

• Your Odiogo audio-enriched RSS feed: 
  http://podcasts.odiogo.com/just-curious/podcasts-xml.php
• Your Odiogo control page: 
  http://podcasts.odiogo.com/just-curious/podcasts-html.php

 

If you lose track of where your podcast feed it, just substitute the name of your blog for just-curious above; for example:

• http://podcasts.odiogo.com/adVancEducation/podcasts-html.php
